haha. 5 replies already. I live in Clinton and plan to stay away from politics while on a football message board, so no comment from me on Bill Clinton.

Too bad you don't want to talk about Bill Clinton because we got this one guy on the board named Danno and he absolutely worships the ground that Clinton walks on.

FORBES MAGAZINE:
Clinton inherited a $290 billion deficit from George H.W. Bush. He reversed Bush's and Reagan's trickle down economic policies, raising taxes on the wealthy, and reducing them on the working and middle classes. He was able to reduce the deficit every single year of his presidency. By 1997, the government was running budgetary surpluses, the first since 1969. He delivered a $230 billion surplus in 2000.

Bush reversed Clinton's policies, lowering taxes on the very wealthy - his "base" as he called them - and effectively raising them on everyone else. In his first full year at the helm of the economy, he delivered a $157 billion deficit, and he never looked back. By 2004, the deficits were topping $400 billion a year. While Clinton delivered surpluses, Bush's deficits totaled some $3.7 trillion over his eight-year term. Clinton 6: Bush 0.

There is no subtlety, no ambiguity about the data or the economic performance they reveal. By every single measure, Bush's policies and tenure were worse - much worse - for the American economy and the American people than those pursued by Bill Clinton. And we are still living today in the aftermath of the destruction they have wrought.

We could add any number of other measures as well, measures not offered up by Forbes but which are still straightforward indices of economic performance. Clinton reduced poverty, from 15.1% when he took office to 11.3% when he left. Bush increased it, from 11.3% when he started to 12.5% at the end of 2008.

The stock market more than tripled under Clinton's tenure. The Dow went from 3,241 when he took office to 10,587 on the day he left. It actually declined under Bush's tenure, from 10,587 on the day he took office to 8,281 on the day he left. Between the recent stock market collapse and the housing crash, Bush destroyed more than $14 trillion in consumer wealth, a staggering, almost incomprehensible legacy of devastation that will haunt Americans for decades to come.

Last I checked, FORBES is a reich wing rag. Ouch.
Personally I think all the political parties are a bunch of LIARS.

You voted for a shrub? You owe 14 trillion dollars. PAY UP, sheeple.

Outstanding answer dude!

One of the secrets of this board's success is the lack of politics. Politics will make enemies of people who should be friends. For instance, if I knew how messed up St. LB's ideas were, I'd probably tell him nasty things every morning. But he really doesnt go there, and neither do I.
So, even though he's full O' crap, (and he thinks I am too,) LB is a great poster here. He's among our most interesting personalities, and always has a great story that makes our board a great place. Plus he's from MS, and I admire our MS fans very much. So, LB is a brother and a WhoDat.

(By the way thanks all Mississippi fans, like yourself, clintonrebel for helping to save the Saints.)

The other thing thats making us rock is our age. (Young whippersnappers, youre alright too -- in fact our young guys here are most excellent to talk to. Better than on the rest of the net.)

But I think our Old Guys, our Tulane Stadium Crew are a real treasure to have on a Saints Board. The civility is a notch above, and basically you get a much greater substance vs. drama ratio.

B&G is THE place for Saints Fans to be. Welcome aboard clintonrebel. Post often, and pop into my Tulane Stadium thread, give your 2 cents, please.

LB,

I like you personally. I think I've expressed how much I enjoy your posting at least 3 times, also. I know some of us are slow to take compliments, but please, take a compliment-- you're a great poster.

I have a hard time believing youre silly enough to take that zinger personally. I also cant imagine you thinking I ever have any malicious
intentions here. Have you caught the exchanges between myself and FF?

I disagree with some of your opinions. Guess what? I disagree with my mama too. She is full O' crap. I am full O' crap too, and xx xxx xxx.

got it? You're alright, dude! I guarantee you Strato and I have different ideas about how to fix the world, and he can marry my sister, if he wants.
